This article examines the concept of *contemporary (era-based) Qur’anic interpretation* (tafsīr ʿaṣrī) through a historical-analytical approach, focusing on the rise, transformation, and decline of dominant interpretive paradigms throughout the history of Qur’anic exegesis. Contemporary interpretation is understood as an interpretive approach that seeks to explain Qur’anic meanings in light of the intellectual, theological, social, and scientific conditions of each historical period. Rather than viewing interpretation as a fixed and ahistorical enterprise, this study argues that exegetical approaches have consistently emerged as contextual and ijtihād-based responses to the needs and challenges of their respective eras.
By examining major interpretive paradigms—such as Muʿtazilite rationalism, Hanbali literalism, philosophical–mystical interpretation, social reformist exegesis, literary-historical approaches, and scientific interpretation—the article demonstrates that contemporary interpretation is not a modern innovation but a recurring phenomenon deeply rooted in the history of Islamic thought. The findings highlight that shifts in theological discourse, socio-political transformations, intellectual developments, and emerging epistemological challenges have all played a decisive role in shaping exegetical trends. Ultimately, the study concludes that contemporary interpretation, when grounded in methodological rigor and respect for the Qur’an’s sacred and transhistorical nature, enhances its guiding role across time and fosters a dynamic and living engagement with revelation.
